Reviews and Ratings
I absolutely adored the stunning views over the lake from the rooms, and they were lovely and clean, although a bit tired and old-fashioned. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, but there were missed opportunities like not being informed about tea and pastries. The location, while not lakeside, was still superb with a brilliant golf course nearby. Dining options were excellent with a substantial menu, although service mishaps were noted. Facilities offered were great overall.
I had a lovely stay at the hotel overlooking the beautiful scenery. The room was spacious and comfortable, but there was a mix-up with the setup for three people. The service was excellent, thanks to the dedicated staff, making my stay enjoyable. The location was fabulous with breathtaking views of the lakes, and the dining experience was decent. Overall, a great choice for a relaxing getaway.
I really enjoyed my stay at the hotel. The rooms were clean and spacious with a nice balcony view, and the food was excellent with plenty of choices for both breakfast and dinner.
